Returning from South Africa on Thursday October 10, 2024, his treatment for esophageal cancer was interrupted due to lack of resources, yet a few weeks from the end.
Mr. Georges Mandjombé is ill, and even very ill. The highest ranking judoka in Gabon (7e dan), former world referee, is somewhat exhausted by an esophageal tumor whose treatment was interrupted at the Wits Donald Gordon Medical University Center in Johannesburg where he had been interned for 4 months.
While he was approximately a few weeks away from this treatment, he learned on October 9 that the amount equivalent to his coverage by Cnamgs had been exhausted. “This is how I was forced to return to the country on October 10 when my treatment was already in the penultimate phase,” he told us this Friday.
A difficult situation for this trainer of the largest number of judokas in Gabon, founder of the Jigoro Kano club, the same club which has produced the largest number of internationals in this sporting discipline in Gabon.
And to continue and complete his treatment in South Africa, Me Mandjombé, already retired, seeks help from the President of the Republic and any other person of good will.
“My social situation no longer allows me to pay for this type of treatment. This is why I have come to implore the goodness of heart of President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguéma so that he can obtain from the Cnamgs an extension of my support in order to continue and complete my treatment in South Africa. said one of the fathers of Gabonese judo.
